Landlord and commercial surveys in Hawkley
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hawkley
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where applicable, is also part of our Premium Survey, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we will say so. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. We survey tall and steep roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and fragile roofs, and people most often book us about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below.
In a village or hamlet like Hawkley, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Useful tips for Hawkley property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. They’ll see exactly where each defect is.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Take photos of any changes.
Hawkley questions
Is Hawkley within the area you cover?
Yes. Hawkley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Hawkley?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
How do I book a survey in Hawkley?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Hawkley?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hawkley
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It’s useful for planning maintenance over the years. In a place like Hawkley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
For a price for your roof in Hawkley, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Different roofs, different checks
Large commercial roofs
Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We do not test for it, but we flag it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Ridges and hips
Ridges may be bedded in mortar or mechanically fixed. Their condition is noted in the report.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Hawkley
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Around Hawkley, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Hawkley frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
